Great tour! - Giulia was great! She took us to several different locations and explained the differences and basics of Italian coffee culture. She answered all our questions and was a great tour guide!

Fun afternoon with lots of treats - Overall we really enjoyed the tour. It was a nice break from more intense sightseeing in the hot sun. Walking was easy and the desserts were tasty. Never had granita before and really liked it. Tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to chat with. Company was very nice to deal with when making our reservations and they accommodated a few special food restrictions with no problems. Would have liked some “behind the scenes” access to be included as part of the tour.

A Yummy Tour - I am not a coffee drinker but had the greatest frozen coffee with whipped cream. The gelato was the best. Tiramisu was SOoo good. The tour guide was entertaining and well informed.

Delicious and Informative - What better way to push through jetlag than with an espresso tour?! The espresso and food were delicious and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about not only the tasting experience, but in offering us helpful tidbits about the city. She taught us how to order espresso (a process I didn't realize would be so different from the U.S.!); that there were 2500 fountains all around Rome that offered free, clean drinking water; and relayed interesting cultural backstory about the statues and piazzas we passed. This guidance helped make our experience throughout the week so much smoother and more pleasant than it would have been. We ended up getting to try espresso prepared three different ways, two kinds of gelato, and a tiramisu. Our guide was so accommodating: The tiramisu place had sold out of it by the time we got there and she quickly ordered us tiramisu-espresso (bonus!) and booked us at another shop that made excellent tiramisu as well. Friendly, exciting, tasty way to start the week!

Wonderful folding tour with Valeria - We loved this fooding with Valeria. We were very lucky because the tour only involved the two of 3 (+ our tour guide obviously). We had very good and complete explanations (in perfect englishl)on how to spot high-quality caffés, gelati and tiramisù. Oh, and it was very delicious! Our piece of advice: don’t eat too much before the tour. Thanks again, we definitely recommend it.

Great Experience - Totally enjoyed the tour and the information relating to Rome. The granita was awesome, gelato one of the best we had and the tiramisu was great. The gelato information was helpful in knowing what to look for when we bought it after the tour. The guide was very nice and informative.

She was personable as could be! My three daughters were loving every second of this tour! Everything we ate and drank was delicious! We even went back to the cafes the next day! This is a must do!
